Paint Brush Holder

Abstract

The paint brush holder is a device allowing the user to keep paint brush, when not in use, attracted by magnetic forces to a magnet and keeping brush bristles away from the device to prevent it from soiling and allowing the remaining paint drip back into the can. The paint brush holder includes a bracket with a magnet attached to an upper bended end of an upward bracket limb and a clamp for easy device fastening atop of the open paint can rim. The clamp consists of a lever pivotally attached to the horizontal limb of the bracket and a fastener attached pivotally to the lever. Additionally, in the clamp locked position an axis of the fastener rotation is located lower than axis of the lever rotation to keep the device reliably locked on the paint can rim.
